TT&C/TC&R

KONGSBERG offers Command receivers and Telemetry transmitters targeting mainly GEO telecom satellites. Key for both products is the inbuilt frequency flexibility, allowing in-orbit broad banded selection of receive and transmit frequencies.

Command receivers

Features

  • CAN-Bus or Platform Specific Interface
  • In-Orbit Switchable FM/PM Mode
  • Excellent Interferer Immunity

Main specifications

  • Input Level Range: -50 to -112 dBm
  • Data: 250, 500, 1000, 2000 or 4000 bps on 8 kHz / 16 kHz subcarrier
  • 4 kHz to 100 kHz range tones
  • BER < 10-6 at telecommand threshold level

Heritage

  • 25 in orbit
  • 23 for launch
  • 17 in progress

Telemetry transmitters

Features

  • Phase modulation of ranging and telemetry signals
  • Digital or analogue video telemetry input
  • Beacon mode

Main specifications

  • Output power: > +27 dBm
  • Carrier Frequency Stability: ±4 ppm
  • Modulation Bandwidth: up to 1 MHz
  • High data-rate bi-phase modulation up to 1 Mbps

Heritage

  • 58  in orbit, including beacons
  • 12 for launch
  • 17 in progress

Common Key Features

  • C-, X-, Ku-, K+ and Ka-band
  • Single or Dual or Flexible (Agile) Frequency
  • Wide Band In-Orbit Frequency Agility Range, up to 2 GHz bandwidth
  • Late and flexible On-Ground frequency setting
  • Reduced lead time using standard crystal oscillator frequency on-stock
  • Space Qualified to ESA and Multi-prime Environmental Requirements
  • Bus voltage range from 28 V to 100 V

Today accepted by major satellite operators and primes.

For Earth observation and Science missions, special products like X- and K-Band modulators are offered.
